About

Everything we do is built around our customers.

Bison Precast is ready to meet your requirements, whatever your sector. From housebuilding and commercial to infrastructure and stadia, there’s never been a better time to build with Bison.

Our heritage

Founded in 1919 by two Royal Engineers who had created the pillboxes used on the Western Front in the First World War, Bison Precast has come a long way. Throughout our history, we have built innovation and passion into every component while delivering speed, strength and quality to the industry sectors we’ve come to know and understand. It’s a past we’re proud of and one which provides a solid foundation for our future.
